About us
With a heart of service and a spirit of collaboration, High Foundation builds Bridges to Opportunity for individuals, organizations, and communities, striving for an equitable world of beauty, prosperity, and peace. Funded by proceeds from High companies, our work is fulfilled through High Impact Initiatives that harness collective power for transformational change in identified areas of need, and by providing Opportunity Grants to community partners that lead to economic vibrancy and community well-being. We are led by our core values of Servant Leadership, Boldness, Equity, Stewardship, and Optimism and we are continuously inspired by the words of our founder S. Dale High: “We are on this earth for a purpose that is larger than our own self-interests, and we must strive to make the world a better place.”

Our Benefactor S. Dale High was recently recognized by the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County at their Annual C. Emlen Urban Awards Dinner. Dale was presented with the 2024 Leadership Award, which is given to an individual or group who recognizes the value of saving historical artifacts and takes the initiative to ensure their preservation. With his longstanding commitment to Lancaster and his present positions as Chair Emeritus of High companies and Chair of High Foundation, Dale was selected for his leadership skills, his many restoration and preservation efforts in Lancaster County, and his overall goodwill in the community. Congratulations, Dale! #highfoundation #highcompanies #philanthropy #nonprofit #givingback #education #healthservices #humanservices #artsandculture #historicpreservation #environment #sustainability #socialenterprise #socialgood #dogood #giveback #businessforgood #community #lancasterpa #cityoflancaster #lancastercounty #lancastercity #lancastercountypa #sdalehigh #leadership

Through education, exhibitions, and community engagement, Ringling College of Art and Design has been a hub for artistic development in Sarasota, Florida since 1931. Ringling educates artists and designers to be culturally aware and technically proficient. Faculty and active professionals cultivate critical thinking and creative expression while the college itself aims to promote diversity, supporting students' aesthetic, intellectual, and professional growth. Jesse Clark, a recent graduate from Ringling’s Photography and Imaging program,, has quickly found success in the professional realm. “Receiving financial aid and grants not only helped me achieve my dream of becoming a photographer but also gave me access to world class education in a creative field in which People of Color have historically been underrepresented in,” Jesse said. “Opportunities like this not only serve to sponsor students like me, but it has provided me the validation that my goals as a Black artist are worth pursuing. Without it, I definitely would not be where I am today or have gotten to achieve this passion so quickly.” High Foundation is proud to partner with Ringling College of Art and Design, supporting the pursuits of artists who seek to leave a lasting impact through their work. #highfoundation #highcompanies #philanthropy #nonprofit #givingback #education #healthservices #humanservices #artsandculture #historicpreservation #environment #sustainability #socialenterprise #socialgood #dogood #giveback #businessforgood #community #lancasterpa #cityoflancaster #lancastercounty #lancastercity #lancastercountypa

Attollo Prep’s mission is to support success-oriented students from diverse backgrounds in their pursuit of academic achievement, self-empowerment, and social engagement. The goal is to see every Attollo Scholar receive a full scholarship to the college of their dreams. Conestoga Valley senior and Attollo participant Yonatanne Desta said, "Attollo provided me with a place in my life where I could academically, mentally, and physically grow as a young adult. This club allowed me to be myself while still maintaining discipline and focusing on my goals.” Yonatanne will be attending John Hopkins on a full-ride scholarship this fall. High Foundation is proud to partner with Attollo Prep to empower the next generation of community leaders. #highfoundation #highcompanies #philanthropy #nonprofit #givingback #education #healthservices #humanservices #artsandculture #historicpreservation #environment #sustainability #socialenterprise #socialgood #dogood #giveback #businessforgood #community #lancasterpa #cityoflancaster #lancastercounty #lancastercity #lancastercountypa

Community First Fund Credit Union exists to create financial equity through wealth building opportunities especially for underserved and underbanked families in our community. Luvia Chentut De Paau and her family are Guatemalan refugees living in Lancaster and navigating the complexities of being immigrants in a new country. Challenges for families like Luvia’s are compounded when searching for services available in their native language. Community First Fund’s Spanish-speaking team has worked with Luvia to provide a safe place to deposit money and an avenue for building credit. She is now receiving financial coaching to achieve her dream of buying a home. High Foundation is inspired by stories like this and proud to support the work of Community First Fund Credit Union. #highfoundation #highcompanies #philanthropy #nonprofit #givingback #education #healthservices #humanservices #artsandculture #historicpreservation #environment #sustainability #socialenterprise #socialgood #dogood #giveback #businessforgood #community #lancasterpa #cityoflancaster #lancastercounty #lancastercity #lancastercountypa

Anchor Lancaster's mission is to be a good neighbor by providing a hot breakfast and warm showers every weekday while aiding with other essential needs. This includes food, clothing, hot showers, laundry, case management, Day Center and ultimately, unconditional love and respect. Without Anchor's 5-day, 52-weeks per year schedule, many would have no place to eat breakfast, nowhere to get a refreshing shower, coffee, and rest from the cold and heat, nor help them with their innumerable issues. High Foundation is grateful for the incredible efforts Anchor Lancaster puts forth to care for our local community. We are thrilled to partner with them in this work. #highfoundation #highcompanies #philanthropy #nonprofit #givingback #education #healthservices #humanservices #artsandculture #historicpreservation #environment #sustainability #socialenterprise #socialgood #dogood #giveback #businessforgood #community #lancasterpa #cityoflancaster #lancastercounty #lancastercity #lancastercountypa #centralpa
